The four-day event is being jointly held by the Department of International Trade Promotion under the Ministry of Commerce, the Royal Thai Government, the Thai embassy’s trade office based in Hanoi, in collaboration with the Vietnam National Trade Fair & Advertising Company.

During the opening ceremony, Nguyen Van Thanh, Vice Chairman of the Hai Phong People's Committee underscored the importance of the event in strengthening trade ties between the two nations, with a particular focus on Hai Phong, and the resumption of trade activities once the threat of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has receded.

A range of diverse products have gone on display across 67 booths in a range of fields such as food, fashion products, health care, and beauty products.

 Thani Saengrat from the Thai Embassy in Hanoi noted that during this year’s event, Hai Phong residents have the opportunity to enjoy various aspects of Thai culture through both performances and culinary arts.
